I bought this Jack knife on ebay for $10.
I have two questions for the experts:
This is Camillus made? When it was made?

Well I'm no expert but I do happen to have the list of Kastor brands and that one is conformed from 1924 to 1965 made for Sears & Roebuck. I can send you the PDF by Email and it is on the forum but I don't know what thread.

Thank you, guys!
This knife came to me is ugly and I was clean up it for a long time.
The handle was in excellent condition, but on the blade corrosion has left deep scars.

Enlarge the picture an look at the handles where they've been sanded down where they meet the bolsters and notice around the pins. To me, it just has that Delrin look. With the knife in hand, five seconds with high power magnification would tell the story beyond a shadow of a doubt.

It is Derlin handles.
A pattern is similar to the Camillus #16 Equal End Jack Knife
